Find and fix vulnerabilities
before you merge

Learn more about advanced security

  • Secure your code as you write it. CodeQL’s code scanning automatically reviews every change to your codebase and identifies known vulnerabilities before they ever reach production.

    Step 3
    Step 2
    Step 1
    Code injection alert

  • Keep your secrets. We automatically scan repositories for OAuth tokens, API keys, personal tokens, and more. If we find one, we’ll notify you and the partner that issued it to invalidate the secret.

Found a vulnerability? Our security advisory remediation tools help developers identify and disclose them responsibly so maintainers can patch them in dedicated, private workspaces.
